Commentary: The backbone of every band, of course, is the drummer... and without Willy's prowess on the skins, Utopia would have been very different, and of course some of his best work is featured on Ra in Singring...

I met Willy in an elevator at the Five Seasons Center in Cedar Rapids during the POV tour, and he was with Kas.. I remember thinking that they sure seemed a lot shorter in person, and that they should somehow be a lot bigger for the sound that they put out...

On the Adventures tour, I saw each of the band members switch instruments, showcasing their multitalented abilities, and Willy showed that he was just as capable of writing songs and singing as the rest of the band with "Gangrene", and "You Make Me Crazy", among others.. This is my "tip of the hat" to Willy, as a most essential part of Utopia..
